RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) The beaches and glamor of Rio de Janeiro haven't convinced LeBron James that he should come back in two years for a shot at a third Olympic gold medal.

James has spent several days in Rio preparing for Saturday's NBA preseason game against his former Miami Heat teammates, but reiterated on Friday that it's too early to make a decision about the Olympics.

James says ''I'm undecided. It's not until 2016. I got two years. I got a long time.''

James and two other Cavalier teammates - Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving - have also been picked in a national team pool that will be used to select the 2016 men's team for the United States, which has won gold at the last two Olympics.
